Mission Beach in San Diego, CA

    My first impression of Mission Beach was that it definitely reminded me of Myrtle Beach in South Carolina. It has the boardwalk and a roller coaster along with other carnival type rides at Belmont Park. It is a heavily visited beach and a definite tourist attraction. It wasnt the cleanest nor was it that fun for me because it was so much like the east coast beaches I know..I am in CA I want something new I want to experience everything I can while I am there and Mission Beach wasnt really fulfilling that want for me at least. But it is good if you have teenagers they do have a lot to do because of the boardwalk and a place called the Wave House which has an array of activities to do from Concerts, Entertainment, Bars, Restaurants & Surfing. So lots to do if you are into that type of thing because it is a very popular place to go but keep in mind you will also have a ton of tourist!
